Variation:
R5-D4 originally came with a yellow straight-latch firing button on the bottom of the body. This was replaced with an L-shaped button, which prevented the button from being pushed too far into the body.

This figure of R5-D4 was originally planned to be an "Attack R2-D2" figure, but was changed to this droid instead.

R5-D4's bad motivator is the result of conflicting stories. Some tales claim R2-D2 sabotaged the droid, others claim that R5-D4 intentionally blew his own motivator, and another tale claims that R5-D4 is actualy a Jedi named "Skippy."

With the word that LEGO will be releasing a Death Star chasm set, complete with rope swing, our reprogrammed Imperial Probe Droid wants to know what other smaller, modular Death Star scenes you would like to see made the most.
